Passers-by heard baby's cries and alerted cops; her condition is serious
This incident is distressing but not completely surprising in a country, which essentially continues to treat women as dirt. A nine-day-old girl was recovered from a trash can in Santacruz last evening after passersby were attracted by her cries. The infant was taken to VN Desai hospital and later to Sion hospital. Her condition is stated to be serious, but she is out of danger.
